Can you see the picture on the camera in review mode? If so, your internal memory is the culprit. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"....follow the on-screen instructions. ...

Unable to show the menu, the top screen does not show any number of pictures to take it only shows the brackets i have a 1gb memory card in.

It is possible that the small built in back-up battery is failing or has failed. This battery is built in and recharged by the main camera battery, three (3) days of charging will recharge it and it should last for approx one (1) month. For more deta ...

Nikon D70 I have a Nikon D70, been using it for 3 years now without a problem up until 2 months ago when I tried to take a picture the screen read "CHG" or "Charge." I assumed it meant the battery. I charged the battery for a full day thinking this would work and of course it didn't. I did the same thing for the next three days with no luck. I eventually bought a new battery and still the word "CHG" or "Charge" shows up on the screen and doesn't allow me to take any pictures. Would you happen to

Greetings,It is actually an error message generated by your compact flash and means that the card is no longer readable. A lot of D70 owners have reported this error without being able to find another solution other than reinserting the card or ...

I have a Fuji Finepix F45 camera.
After taking a photo the screen shows a badly blurred image. Same applies if I load the memory card into my PC. The image has wavy lines.
I have tried recharging the l-ion battery. replacing the battery with a new charged battery, & replacing the XD card to no avail.
I suspect that the charger may be defective.
However the camera does show the battery as being fully charged. After spending £25 on a new battery I am reluctant to spend £30 on a new charger wh

Hi,
I have a Nikon D300.
First problem - The battery started showing empty / full / then empty again. Bought a new battery, worked first time, then the same problem empty / full / empty.
Change the camera, kept the 2 batteries and charger.

My cannon a 530 says that it has a memmory card error, and it shows memmory card locked momentarally at bottom of screen, i tried to unlock with the slide on the card itself, but that did not help. i put a new memmory card in and it shows the same. i also noticed a watch type battery next to the aa batteries, could that battery be the problem ? i have never changed that battery and this camera is several years old.

No that's not likely the problem. The new card is probably the issue, especially if it is 4GB or higher. There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". Some include trying to use of a 4GB SDHC c ...

My pictures have lines going through the pictures, no problems with the video. Tried new batteries and taking out SD card, and turning off flash still does not stop the lines.

Pink pictures the other day.... I was using my camera and it started showing lines through the image, the image quality was getting worse and worse. I figured needs new batteries. So I put new batteries in it and now it takes pink pictures! How strange my evergreen pictures look in fushia color! I tried and tried for a couple of weeks, I checked all the settings, even took the batteries out and restarted, but still pink! all shades of pink! Here's where it really gets odd, I got my camera

There is the same problem on 3 existing and two new 2Gb SD cards from SanDisk.
The internal connectors in the card slot are all in position. We have cleaned the card connectors and tried two different and fully charged batteries We do not have access to an AC adapter.
We have had the camera for 'years' and this is the first problem - is the camera 'totalled'.

My Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 won't turn on.? I have a Sony Cybershot camera model DSC-T70. It is a little over a year old. The camera takes a Rechargeable lithium ion battery (D type NP-BD1). A few months ago the camera no longer turned on. I have bought a new battery that I have recharged several times and it still will not turn on. I can see a red light going on in the battery compartment by the memory stick duo (mem card) that goes on when I insert the charged battery. I have also tried taking

Camera's about 2 years old. With a fully charged battery it will take about 8 to 10 photos and then the battery indicates total discharge. How ever, if the camera is turned off for several minutes and then back on it will again take several pictures and but then again shows that the battery is totally discharged. I have tried installing a new "out of the box" battery in the camera but I still get the same sequence of events. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated

This is going to be a tough one, but we may get lucky. There are a few things that can cause this situation, and it can get tricky since we never know how long replacement batteries have been on the shelf. When some rechargeable batteries totall ...

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC27E Camcorder which was working great until a few days ago. my problem is its suddenly not showing my recorded tapes, I was watching footage only a few days ago from my recent holiday, the images were starting to get grey stripes across the screen, thought this was due to a low battery, put in a new one, still no images showing. Put in other prrecorded tapes they are showing nothing as well. Then I tried to record which works fine, but when I played it back its still

The gray strips usually mean the camera has dirt video heads - if it hasn't been dropped. Get a head-cleaning tape from Radio Shack or Best Buy, and run it a few times. If that doesn't do it, it'll have to be cleaned by a repair shop. Off brand ta ...

My Canon 5D mkI turns on ok, will focus, displays top and back, but it will not take a shot. I have two batteries, both which I have charged to full and tried (display shows full charge). I have also tried two seperate CF cards. I have tried cleaning all contacts. Still it won't take a photo. The shutter will work when I use the "clean sensor" function though. Also, I have reset all settings on the camera. Anyone know why the camera isn't firing off a shot?

Hi there. i have a canon ixus 30 camera. i brought a brand new 4gb memory card for it. when i put it in the camera it says 'memory card error'. i read somewhere that formatting it helps but when i tried to format it on the camera it doesnt work because the format word is blacked out. i also tried formatting the card on my computer. it formatted it but when i put it back in the camera it still came up with the same error message. what can i do to fix this so i can take pictures etc??????

Many people are unaware that the newer SDHC format cannot be used with most older cameras. Your camera was manufactured well before the SDHC format came out. I'm sorry, but there's no way that a 4GB SDHC card will work with your camera, it just doe ...

Fuji J150w Digital Camera

We have a Kodak 8.2 mega pixel camera that is approximately 1 1/2 years old. I took pictures and then uploaded them onto my computer. Unplugged everything. When I went back to delete the pictures off the camera card, the camera would not turn on or do anything. I tried to charge the battery but when everything is plugged in it is still totally dark. We purchased a new battery thinking that was the problem and still nothing. When the charger in plugged in there is nothing - no lights at all.

When the camera is on it's base and plugged in you can view a slide show. when it is not plugged in you can not switch it on to view anything or take any pictures but the green light still works when you try to switch on. It happened on holiday recently when a bit of sea water hit the camera lens. The camera was very hot and kept on saying battery is low. so when i got back to London i bought a new battery for it but nothing still works.

My camera got slightly wet by ocean water and will not work. It sometimes starts to turn on (once even taking a picture with no LCD screen), but mostly is dead. Could this just be a battery problem? Can a battery get ruined by a little saltwater w ...
